Backroads of Appalachia! - Reasons to Ride Partner
Here in Central Appalachia our riding season is well underway as we move through our May schedule and into June for some of our biggest events of the year here at the Whitley County Motorcycle Group. Mother Nature is showing her full colors as our landscape has sprung to life after a long winter of hibernation. Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, streams are flowing, and our scenery is second to none and we are making thunder as the bikes begin to arrive and ride here in the oldest mountains on earth. If you have not been here to visit our ride then you are missing out on one of nature’s greatest transformations as well as the best riding anywhere in the United States! Period! Here at the WCMG and Backroads of Appalachia our team works year round to prepare for our season bringing you the absolute best GPS-Enabled Routes, Uniquely Appalachian Points of Interest, and of course Charity Events and Rides with over 30 and counting in 2023!
Our mission is clear and unwavering as we continue to spread the word about what we have to offer riders here in the place we call home helping our region recover from years of economic hardship. Groups are already beginning to arrive this season as the all volunteer WCMG Road Crew Members guide them on our trail route system with a custom itinerary tailored specifically to what they want to see, where they want to stay, what they want to ride, and even where they would like to eat. We are all about giving everyone who comes here the absolute best riding experience possible regardless of if you use our Free Backroads of Appalachia Mobile Application or reach out to us for a more tailored experience.
Remember our application was designed to be rider and driver friendly even if you are not a technology wiz. Many pain-staking long hours have been spent here on our team developing our mobile application to be exactly that. By riders for riders, by drivers for drivers, and even for tourists who want to come here to get a true Appalachian Cultural Experience without the traffic, overdevelopment or high cost of travel, and we do it all for our region and you the rider absolutely free! And yes it does work perfectly with touchscreen compatible gloves!
We are always working hard to improve on what we have and our riding and driving community are a big part of that work. We are truly community based and the input we receive from you when you come here and ride helps us continue to make our routes and offerings better. In June we have some great events and rides planned to include 2 custom bike shows for charity hosted on the main streets of the small towns we are here to help. Every time you come here and ride you are helping an entire region as well as the charity we hold each event for! What could be better than that on your next trip or riding vacation?? So what are you waiting for? Join us on Facebook or find our events on the Backroads of Appalachia Mobile Application Calendar or our website by going to www.backroadsofappalchia.org and come and ride with us this year on the Backroads of Appalachia! You will be glad you did!
